Ball joints by Foon

Cruise Control in Crapper '03 XLT by Foon
With only 55k miles on this '03 am I surprised the cruise control has crapped out? Yes! My question is regarding worst case scenario.

At what mileage should spark plugs be changed on a 2003 Mountaineer V8? Currently I am at 70K miles and I seem to recall that someone said they are hard to remove at the recommended 100,000 miles. Outta I do this now or just wait?

New Shocks on Mountaineer by Daniel David Palmer[_2_]
It was suggested that I replace the shocks on my 2003 Mountaineer V8 with about 70,000 miles. What should I replace them with? More OEM shocks (the originals seemed fine when new)? I also understand that Mountaineer and Explorer use different shocks. Does this difference have any bearing on...

What year Expedition should I buy? by onoahimahi
I'm looking at buying a 2002 Expedition with low miles but before I do, I'm wondering were there any major changes or improvements introduced after 2002 that I would be missing out on? I could afford maybe up to a 2006 but would prefer to save money by buying the 2002 if I can. Thanks, Scott

02 Explorer 100k mile maintenance by brazzle
hey all, i'm approaching 100k miles on my 2002 Eddie Bauer. I bought it at the end of 2006 and haven't really done any routine maintenance on it (aside from oil changes and rotations) so I would like to make sure I do enough maintenance to keep it running well for another 50k miles at least. I...

'97 Explorer 4.0 SOHC - Hard start in cold by Rick N Pam
My '97 Explorer has developed a starting issue in cold weather. I turn the key and it starts immediately, runs for a second or two and shuts off. I have to repeat the process numerous times before it will stay running. At first, I thought the battery voltage was sagging because it is at least 8...

Alternate source for lock actuators ? by [email protected]
Hi all, I'm finding the need to replace a couple of lock actuators on my 2000 Mountaineer. Purchasing form the dealer is quite expensive, I was wondering if anyone has come across a less expensive source for these items. Any recommendations will be welcome. Thanks in advance. JML

Front Wheel Bearings by Daniel David Palmer[_2_]
I posted before about my '03 Mountaineer being loud. I was able to go on a quiet stretch of highway at 60 mph then shift into neutral and shut down the engine. Noise continues. So I guess that rules out drivetrain and exhaust. BLUEOVALNEWS folks suggested front bearings and I do hear a click...
